The NBA season is just a few short weeks away, meaning it’s time for win/loss projections to arise from Sin City. The Nuggets over/under win total for the coming season is 34.5, according to Jeff Sherman, a Las Vegas SuperBook Manager.
2016-17 NBA regular season win totals
Hawks 43.5
Celtics 51.5
Nets 20.5
Hornets 39.5
Bulls 38.5
Cavaliers 56.5
Mavericks 39.5
Nuggets 34.5— Jeff Sherman (@golfodds) September 20, 2016
That’s an eight-game jump from the team’s over/under of 26.5 last season which they covered at 33 wins.
To Nuggets fans the number may seem low, but to the casual NBA fan who does not spend a majority of their time watching the Nuggets 34.5 is a fair number.
In my opinion, the Nuggets have a good shot to win more than 34 games if the pieces of the puzzle fit in the right places.
Training camp starts next week, meaning the season is right around the corner.
Get ready, folks.
